It’s a lot in all the best ways

Honestly, this game was refreshing. I play a looooot of games like these, and most of a time they’re poorly thought out, and have very little replay ability. This game is the very opposite. There is so much going on in this little game that I’m constantly thinking about what I will do next and how it will play out. Love it

Top Notch game need Minor improvements writing this review after playing for two weeks

1. In Studio boss Mode UI in top tier I can Produce max 26 films Each time a issue arises that is shown in mail but scrolling long in studio mode is really irritating U can give in mail itself the option what to do
2. Even after reaching top tier still Iam not able to choose pan global release it is saying media mix activity need more than or equal to 20 I have no clue how to achieve it
3. There is a quick way to earn lot of money it should be fixed in auction slot npc outbound you can enter as much money u need and get rich quick
4. On signing talent T3 and T4 superstars are not available only in ride mode it is there
5. After reaching top tier I can still only produce 400 crore movies max script selection is always showing mid budget ,but in role cast there is 3 Billion investment films
6. I had purchased shares of a company and acquired the same company the stocks which I have purchased went to zero value it should be fixed
7. Give directorial option so we can choose script and direct
8. I found retirement option for a character in that case at least 40 percent of the money should be made available to him while starting new life . Give a option to take the child character when they reach 18 from any point of time
9. In Mail per week 25 mails pouring in fix to minimum avoid friends request mail in important mail box or give option to choose what mail can be shown in important mail
10.While biding for rival movies there should be real time stimulation like auction start and end should be same week
11. After green light for movie if director walks away ,any technician ask for raise give option to sue them in counsel
12. Include royalty option for roles in Role cast
13. After acquiring a company there should be a logic what happens to it because money value goes zero whatever I spend on it I get no returns just only movie catalogue is added no income generation from acquiring it

This is the best game I have played in this segment Improve this it will be the best

Thanks again for the detailed notes! Spotlight Dreams 1.3.145 is now live on the App Store with fixes from your review: Studio A-list and Superstar talent (and top exec tiers) now unlock at Fame you can actually reach, outbound licence weekly fees are capped, shares you hold in a company you acquire are cashed out right away at the last price to your brokerage balance, and acquired catalogs now pay a weekly income into studio cash. Please update from the App Store, then check Studio M&A and SpotStocks. PanGlobal tip still applies: keep the International channel at 20%+ of a film's marketing spend, then sign PanGlobal in the Release War Room.

Question: Studio Boss

I’ve been playing for a while now and I can’t seem to make enough money. I want to get studio boss and will if this is answered. It says I need about 2-3 billion so that I can open a studio is that true? Because I can never make enough money to be even close to let’s say 600 mil it takes so long and I got hours and hours into this game, you can trust me on that. Can I just open the studio with just a few hundred million? And if not can you make it like that and maybe the cons/side effects of doing that could be not having that much good stuff. Idk what’s in it how it looks like in the studio section just guessing here. But maybe add a downgraded or cheaper version of the studio and then work our way up or upgrade to a way better one. For us people struggling and what to experience the studio side more quickly. Great Game Sorry for the Long Review. :):)

Good news — the Indie starter studio is now live in Spotlight Dreams 1.3.118. With Studio Boss Mode unlocked, you can found an Indie studio at $300M cash ($200M setup), make one microbudget film at a time, and upgrade to the Major studio later. Thanks for the suggestion — it helped shape this! 🎬 Discord: https://xxi.online/discord

The studio talent-cap bug is fixed in the latest App Store update — Major Studio now needs 7 signed talent, which fits the Mid-Major roster. Please update Spotlight Dreams, then advance one week and the promotion should happen on its own. If it still sticks: Settings → Report a Bug → Copy Report and send it to https://support.xxi.online. If you're unstuck, a rating update would mean a lot.

Very Fun Full Of Things To Do!

So far this game has been super entertaining with a lot of different aspects to manage which keeps me super interested! Your own studio, Career, social media, family, friendships, charity, fans, stocks & so much more which i was pleasantly surprised when i first downloaded

The family aspect is my absolute favorite part of this game so far having famous pets, kids and a tv show is so cool and secondary is the studio boss mode! This game is so creative and with some more improvement i can see it being a long time favorite and a highly rated top game. Great job to the developers!

There’s still a few bugs that need to be worked on in studio boss mode like being unable to progress pass mid major studio because staff count is maxed lower than needed to progress and create tv series is stuck also if you’re having twins there needs to be two name slots lol

Addictive

I love this game. You can play for hours and not realize it. Sidenote, I noticed there’s another game out there that looks exactly like yours, but theirs is way buggier so good job on yours working as it should. I don’t understand why the ratings are so low. This is at least a 4 1/2 star game if not, five stars.

Thank you so much for the 5 stars! We're thrilled you're enjoying Spotlight Dreams and that the issues have been resolved. Your support means a lot to us, and we're excited to keep bringing you new updates and features. 🎬✨

Great potential! Economy needs tuning

I’m really enjoying the game loop and the viral mechanics are creative. Thank you for making this!

A few suggestions to improve balance:
- Payout bug: Viral posts display earnings over 100 trillion but only deposit 1 trillion. This feels like a display/calculation glitch. Please fix so the payout matches what’s shown.
- Tax system: The current tax returns take nearly all earnings, which makes progression frustrating. Can the rate be reduced or scaled better?
- Savings cap: Please increase the savings account limit above 500 million so we can actually save for big purchases in late game.

Overall love the game. Hope to see these addressed in the next update! Thanks for listening to the community 🙏

Good news — the viral-post payout fix, $5B savings cap, and fairer late-game taxes are now live in Spotlight Dreams 1.3.118. Please update from the App Store. If the payout still looks wrong, send a report via Settings → Report a Bug → Copy Report at https://support.xxi.online. Thanks for the detailed feedback! 🎬

No

The developer pulled a bait and switch on the players. I bought Creator Mode just for the app to be pulled from the App Store a few days after. Now, after requesting a refund for not being able to access my in app purchase, the developer suddenly decided to get back on the App Store so my refund can get denied. Do not purchase anything. Unless you’re okay with the app/support suddenly disappearing whenever it’s convenient

We're sorry for the frustration you experienced. The app was temporarily unavailable while we addressed technical and administrative issues, and it has since been restored. App Store refund requests are reviewed and processed directly by Apple according to their policies, so developers aren't able to approve or deny them. Thank you for your feedback.

Great Game

Great Game Indeed My Only Issue Is That When It Comes To Relationships, I Cant Figure Out How That Works. The Dating App Doesn’t Work Properly. It Just Lets You Swipe But Thats About It. Also Sometimes Certain Things On The Phone Do Not Let You Access It. Other Than Those Minor Problems You Guys Have Done A Great Job With This Game.

Thanks for the feedback! For relationships, make sure to use the Dating app to find compatible matches, the Contacts app to build and improve relationships, and the Family app to access family interactions and activities. We’re continuing to expand and improve these systems with future updates. 🎬✨

I’m not updating this review again. It’s a two star review because it’s a two star game

Update: there are still bugs and “features” that aren’t executed well and actually make the game annoying. I bought Creator Mode and it was not worth it. I won’t even attempt to get a refund.
No I will not update this to a fake 5 star review because of your “reminders” on discord.

Could be great!

It looks like a great game, but none of the functions work. I can “advance week”, but I can’t interact with anything else. There are new auditions on “roll call” but I can’t open the in-game phone’s app…. Or any of them that require attention.
Shame, because it looks like it could be a great game.

Money limit

What a fantastic game but there is only one issue I can’t go further than 1 trillion

Thank you for the 5-star review and for reporting this. There is currently no intended money limit in Spotlight Dreams, so this may be a bug or something specific to your save. Please reach out to us on email and we'll be happy to investigate and help resolve it. 🎬✨

Okay

Updating my review: The game is has potential but it’s riddled with bugs. The developer tries to fix them every update, and there are frequent updates so that’s a good sign.

Roles

For 20 million usd plus roles, I never get them even though my stats are maxed out at all 100 and it is very hard to stabilize your industry trust, for the roles, I get a 20mil+ role in the odds of 1 in 100

Thanks for the feedback. Role acceptance isn't based on stats alone. Factors such as how you answer audition questions, your fame level, industry trust, genre mastery, and overall career progression all affect your chances of landing major roles. We're continuing to balance and improve these systems with future updates. 🎬✨

Not quite ready

Actually getting cast feels quite unintuitive, and such a long process (multiple in game weeks + trivia) just to get declined just isn’t fun. UI needs to be more tailored to a mobile game experience.

Thanks for the feedback. The casting system was designed to make building an acting career feel more realistic, with auditions becoming easier as your character gains experience, fame, and industry connections. That said, we understand it may feel too punishing early on, and we're reviewing ways to improve the experience in future updates. 🎬✨ Discord: https://discord.gg/Tem89zB3Jj
